Those of you who’ve been following our site prior to now will notice that we’ve (finally) revamped the site’s theme,moving from something bland and hard to follow to a much better layout and colour scheme. We’ve also highlighted the iTunes subscription and RSS feed links towards the top right hand side of the page. This should help to address the hassles some folks have had finding our feeds.
Unfortunately,our next episode is going to be a little delayed. While we usually try to release one every week,this week is proving difficult. Steve’s had a hard drive failure on the machine he uses to record &edit the podcasts and Grant’s burning the candle at both ends (and the middle) at his day job. Throw in Steve’s work putting him on night shifts for the next few days and it’s going to be difficult for us to synch up to record.
That said,we should be recording the next episode (#6) in a few days and expect that it will be ready for release by the weekend. We are at least getting the Australia Desk segments done for the Airplane Geeks podcast. Fortunately,they’re easier to record,remix and get out to the world.
Stick with us and your patience will be rewarded as episode #6 promises to have lots of news,commentary and an interview. Don’t forget to subscribe via our entry in iTunes or point your podcatcher software at the podcast feed. You can also subscribe to the full blog feed and get the episodes as well as general postings like this one.
In addition to having our feed going through iTunes and our web site here,we’ve also gone to a number of other podcast listing sites,including Odeo,PodFeed.net and Podcast Alley.
Right now we’re waiting for some of them to approve the listing,but if you have a favourite podcast listing site that doesn’t have us included,let us know and we’ll try to get listed with them.
A recent event at Oshkosh has been the Podapalooza “gathering of aviation podcasters”where attendees get to meet some of the voices in their heads. Much as we would have loved to go to Oshkosh this year and attend Podapalooza,it’s a long long way to swim from down here so all we could do was listen to the other podcasters talking about how they were going and gnash our teeth while trying not to stomp on our iPods.
Fortunately for us,Stephen Force of the Airspeed podcast told us he was willing to smuggle in a short “Hey there”piece for us and get it played at the event. Well,not only was he able to smuggle it in,he even got it played on EAA radio. Wow! Thanks Steve –yet more beers we owe you when we meet!
For those of you who,like us,couldn’t be there and couldn’t listen to the live feed,here’s the little greeting we recorded for everyone at Podapalooza 2009.
